Opendoor CEO Carrie Wheeler said Friday that she's resigning from the online real estate company, which has seen a surge in recent interest from retail investors. The stock popped early in the day before closing up 4.3%. Pressure began building on Wheeler, who took over the top job in 2022, after the company's quarterly earnings report earlier this month failed to reassure investors that a turnaround is underway. The stock is up more than sixfold since bottoming out at 51 cents in June, a price

Drag x Drive is more drag than drive

theverge.com Geoffrey Bunting 2025-11-26 03:00:00

When Nintendo announced Drag x Drive, a Joy-Con mouse-controlled wheelchair sports game, for the Switch 2 I was tentatively excited. I have a lot of time for developers trying new things, and sports video games are hardly replete with disability representation. Having been hands-on with the game, however, Drag x Drive has left me baffled and in significant pain. As a “driver” — wheeled robots that come in three mostly indistinct flavors: guard, center, and forward — Drag x Drive has you play pi

Survival at High Altitudes: Wheel-Well Passengers (1996)

news.ycombinator.com Veronneau 2025-12-12 18:29:40

Abstract: Ten specific "wheel-well" passenger stowaway flights (the wheel-well area was entered just before takeoff) are documented in the N.Y. Times, covering the period 1947 to 1993. Five stowaways survived flights encompassing altitudes as high as 39,000 feet, with six dying in the process (one flight had two stowaways: one fatal, one surviving). Three Douglas DC-8 and four Boeing 707 aircraft, plus a Caravelle, an unknown jet, and a piston airliner were utilized. Several of the wheel well f

Wheel World is the feel-good game of the summer

theverge.com Lewis Gordon 2026-01-05 09:00:00

Momentum is what Wheel World does best. It is the feeling of reaching a downhill section of road, a pristine Sega-blue sea stretching out in the far distance, and letting gravity, the weight of your bicycle, and slope do all the work. Release the right trigger, the button used to peddle, and simply careen down the gently curving asphalt. It’s as if you’re flying — the wind in your hair and shirt fluttering on your back, coasting to wherever the road takes you. Wheel World is an undeniably feel-

I Tested the Inmotion V9 EUC, and It's Easily One of the Best Choices for Beginners

Table of Contents I Tested the Inmotion V9 EUC, and It's Easily One of the Best Choices for Beginners The Inmotion V9 is among the best grab-and-go electric unicycles (EUCs) available that I've tested. I say that as someone who's been riding wheels for years now and prefers them to e-bikes. They're not for everyone, but thanks to the V9's size, security features, focus on rider safety and reliable battery risk reduction, it's a fantastic option if you're ready to leave handlebars behind. Plus,

Underwriting Superintelligence

Insurance Unlocks Secure AI Progress We’re navigating a tightrope as Superintelligence nears. If the West slows down unilaterally, China could dominate the 21st century. If we accelerate recklessly, accidents will halt progress, as with nuclear power. Insurance, standards, and audits together create skin in the game for quantifying, communicating, and reducing AI risks so we can balance this tightrope. We call this the “Incentive Flywheel.” Benjamin Franklin first discovered the Incentive Fly

The neighborhood was quiet. There was a chill in the air. The scent of Spanish moss hung from the cypress trees. Plumes of white smoke rose from the burning cane fields and stretched across the skies of Terrebonne Parish. The man swung a long leg over a bicycle frame and pedaled off down the street. It was 1987 in Houma, Louisiana, and he was headed to the Department of Transportation, where he was working the night shift, sweeping floors and cleaning toilets. He was just picking up speed when

Wheel of Time Season 3 Arrives Soon—Here’s What to Remember From Season 2

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-17 16:45:56

The Wheel of Time is preparing to crank back up again, with the first three episodes arriving March 13 on Prime Video; like seasons one and two, it’ll run eight episodes, with a weekly drop after the premiere through April 17. That mini-binge may be enough to plunge you back into Robert Jordan’s world (after yesterday’s amuse-bouche: the limited-time early release of the season’s fiery first 11 minutes), but if you need a reminder of where season two left off, io9’s got you covered.

Work Has Given Me Tech Neck. This Device Is Helping Undo the Damage

I was leaving a blissful session with my massage therapist when she pointed out something unexpected: I was developing an ever-so-slight neck “hump.” Of course, nobody wants to hear that—it sounds unsightly—but it also raised some alarm bells. Recently, an orthopedic spine surgeon told me that he’s seen increasing cases of arthritis in young, healthy individuals, likely due to posture issues caused by constant screen use.
